Portfolio Roast
"Face the Heat" — an AI portfolio and resume roast that gives blunt, specific, senior-dev-style feedback instead of polite platitudes. Shipped solo.
Developers rarely get honest, specific feedback on their portfolio or resume before applying — friends are too polite, and most feedback tools default to generic, softened praise instead of what a hiring engineer would actually flag.
Built a fast Next.js app around a deliberately blunt LLM persona — branded "Face the Heat" — that reads a portfolio or resume and gives direct, specific critique in seconds instead of vague encouragement.
The fastest-responding project in this list by a wide margin — under half a second to first byte on a direct measurement against production. Fast enough that the "roast" format actually works: no waiting around for the critique to land.
